Congress, Town Hall Protests and Norman Rockwell

The drama begins. Someone from D.C. emailed me this article about the GOP’s chances for 2010 in the aftermath of the Gates arrest situation and other matters. When that former colleague calls to chew the political fat this weekend, I will say what I say everyday: until the Red Team produces a moderate division, the Blue Dogs will be fine.

While our community doesn’t normally rally during mid-term election, we have never had a Black president make the request.

The energy and concern Americans are showing for policy this summer is refreshing and an indicator of the importance of the issues on the national plate. However, I hope the debates and town hall meeting are conducted in a safe, respectful way. What I am seeing on the news made me return to some classic Norman Rockwell paintings.
